Zach Top brings his latest single, “Good Times & Tan Lines,” to life with a summer-soaked new music video.
Out now, the clip captures Top and a group of friends enjoying a fun-filled day on the lake. The Washington native shows off his wake surfing skills and performs along the waterfront. His dog, Otis, and girlfriend, Amelia Taylor, also make appearances, along with members of his touring band.
The video perfectly matches the feel-good summertime tune, written by Top alongside Carson Chamberlain and Wyatt McCubbin. “Good Times & Tan Lines” was released on June 9 to coincide with his CMA Fest performance and will appear on his highly anticipated new album, Ain’t In It For My Health, due out August 29 via Leo33.
“Good times and tan lines/ Cold beer and summer nights/ That was all there was to life/ Good times and tan lines/ Good, good times and tan lines,” he sings on the chorus.
Brimming with ‘90s country vibes, the song continues Top’s tradition of honoring classic country sounds. It’s hard not to draw comparisons to Alan Jackson’s iconic 1993 hit, “Chattahoochee.” The release follows the success of his first-ever No.1 at country radio with “I Never Lie.”
Zach Top is spending the summer on Dierks Bentley’s Broken Branches Tour, where he recently joined Bentley’s Hot Country Knights as his hilarious alter ego Billy Bottoms.
Next, the ACM New Male Artist of the Year will continue his Cold Beer & Country Music headlining tour with recently announced new stops at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre (two nights), Louisville’s KFC Yum! Center, Oklahoma City’s Paycom Center, Charleston’s Credit One Stadium, Vancouver’s Rogers Arena and Charlottesville’s John Paul Jones Arena (among others).

Over the course of her career, Black’s written work and interviews have reached billions of country music fans worldwide. A 2009 graduate of the University of Central Florida, Black began her career by founding Country Music Is Love, one of country music’s earliest independent digital publications, which she later sold to a major record label in 2015 before it was rebranded as Sounds Like Nashville. She then served as the publication’s Editor-in-Chief for more than two years. Her work has also appeared in Forbes, and she previously served as the Country Music Expert for Answers.com.

The series has welcomed thousands of fans in person while reaching millions more online. In addition, she hosted Connect With Country Now, a weekly interview series featuring conversations with rising country stars. Throughout her career, Black has earned a reputation for discovering and championing artists long before they become household names. She has covered Luke Bryan since the early days of his career, beginning when he was writing songs for other artists, including Billy Currington’s No. 1 hit “Good Directions,” before stepping into the spotlight with his debut single, “All My Friends Say” and eventually becoming one of biggest names in music. She also gave Megan Moroney her first opportunity to walk a major red carpet as Country Now’s official guest correspondent at the 2022 CMA Awards. An interview she conducted in 2018 for Forbes.com with Luke Combs that inspired his multi-week No. 1 hit, “Doin’ This.” She has also hosted stages at CMA Fest, moderated an industry panel at Country Radio Seminar, and helped lead important conversations about the evolving landscape of country music media. Beyond journalism, Black has also used her platform to support charitable causes and highlight organizations making an impact. Through Country Now Live, she has helped raise awareness and support for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, while also advocating for animal rescue through Country Now’s Pupdate series, spotlighting organizations including MuttNation Foundation, Wags & Walks, and Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue.

After nearly 20 years covering country music, Lauren Jo Black has spent her career telling the stories behind the artists, songs, and moments that have shaped the genre. Her first-ever book, Country Music Forever: An A-to-Z Celebration of Icons, Songs and Stories, brings that same passion and firsthand knowledge to the page, celebrating not only the legendary artists and timeless songs that have become the soundtrack to generations of fans, but also the places, traditions, and cultural moments that have made country music one of the most beloved genres around the world.
